Tsubohachi Izakaya Hokkaido @ Publika

It has been a long time i haven’t go out with my favorite human. So we decided to catch up for a bit and went to have dinner in Tsubohachi Izakaya Hokkaido in Publika. This is the their first branch in Malaysia. We were so attracted by their interior design. They have these gigantic bathtub looking seating and also many cute maneki neko on the wall.

The service was superb! Once we were setting down, the waiter brought hot towel [Oshibori ] for us to clean our hand. Besides, we never need to raise our hand for ordering! Our tea cup were kept being refilled.

Tarabagani Kamameshi – Red King Crab Pot Rice
We had to wait 10-20 minutes for the rice to cook, but the wait is worth it. There were 4-5 pieces of king crab legs in the pot. The rice becomes rich with crab, carrot and mushroom flavor.I cannot taste any seasoning but just the natural flavor from the ingredients, which is very nice and comforting.

Onsen Tamago. One with the special sauce and one with the regular shoyu. I think the special sauce is the mixture of shoyu and ponzu sauce.
